Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

If I'm remembering right it was:

PILOT: Headset volume is unbelievably loud.
MECHANIC: Headset volume has been set to a more believable level.

A few more I remember from way back when:

PILOT: Mouse found in cockpit.
MECHANIC: Cat installed.

PILOT: Something loose in cockpit
Mechanic: Something tightened in cockpit

PILOT: Friction locks cause throttle to stick.
MECHANIC: Good, they're supposed to.

(How did you get a new line without a blank line between them??? Formatting shouldn't be this hard.)

PILOT: dead bugs on windshield.
MECHANIC: live bugs on back order.

PILOT: suspect crack in windshield.
MECHANIC: suspect you're right.

PILOT: number 3 engine missing.
MECHANIC: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

On another note, I found a version closer to The Source:
right here

Also, with regards to formatting, a manual line end, without the blank line in between, like a HTML tag <br />, is achieved by having two spaces just before the line break.
Like this.

Why is that, though? Why not line break where I've entered a line break?
Two spaces can be a pain on mobile

Heck if I know.
